In a recent study, we showed that the springtail Folsomia candida was quite sensitive the neonicotinoid insecticides imidacloprid and thiacloprid. This study aimed at determining the toxicity of both compounds to F. candida following exposure over three generations, in natural LUFA 2.2 standard soil. In the first generation, imidacloprid was more toxic than thiacloprid, with LC<sub>50</sub>s of 0.44 and 9.0 mg/kg dry soil, respectively and EC<sub>50</sub>s of 0.29 and 1.5 mg/kg dry soil, respect ...[more]
